Order! Order.

Hello, I'm Sean Curran, and this is today in Parliament from BBC Radio 4.

For Thursday, the 26th of February, when the UK agreed a post-Brexit deal to remove border controls for people moving between Spain and Gibraltar.

Our commitment to Gibraltar remains as ever, as solid as the rock.

The Conservatives say the BBC was wrong to broadcast a racial slur during the BAFTA ceremony.

The BBC and BAFTA must not only investigate this matter, but also

apologise. Also tonight, there's a new threat to grey seals. These lightweight toys once lost to the

wind or tide frequently end up at sea where they become deadly. But first, the UK has finally

agreed a post-Brexit deal with the European Union over Gibraltar.

A Foreign Office Minister, Stephen Doughty, told MPs that after five years of talks, a draft treaty had been published.

I am delighted we have reached this moment, which heralds a new era of security, prosperity and stability for Gibraltar and the

surrounding region, and crucially protect British sovereignty over the rock.

As the governor of Gibraltar, Sir Ben Bathurst looked on from the gallery, the minister said

Gibraltar had been a hugely important part of the British family for more than 300 years.

This draft treaty protects jobs and livelihoods for the people of Gibraltar.

And it offers a stable framework for their relationship with the European Union,

removing the uncertainty that they have faced since Brexit.

In short, Mr Speaker, it shows what real

diplomacy and cooperation can achieve. Stephen Doughty said the government of Gibraltar had been

involved at every stage of the negotiations and nothing had been agreed without its full support.

Around 15,000 people cross the land border every day between Spain and Gibraltar.
